Crunchy, sweet, nutty, and cold, these Raw Maple Tahini Bars are a refreshing summer treat! Additionally, these Raw Maple Tahini Bars are grain free, vegan, oil free, gluten free, and nut free.
In Mississippi, where I live, the weather has been crazy hot the past few weeks, and the temperature has even been reaching record highs! So, when the heat is in the upper nineties with one hundred-plus heat indexes, cold desserts have been an absolute requirement.
These Raw Maple Tahini Bars are quick and easy to mix up, and they only use one bowl and seven ingredients! In five minutes, these Raw Maple Tahini Bars can be hardening up in the freezer, and depending on how cold your freezer is set, the Raw Maple Tahini Bars will be ready in about one hour.
Although I think the Raw Maple Tahini Bars would remain hard in the refrigerator after their initial freezing, I would recommend storing the Raw Maple Tahini Bars in an airtight container in the freezer for maximum cold.

July 18, 2018 at 1:16 pmKasha is toasted Buckwheat groats! I order mine from the brand “Bob’s Red Mill” on Amazon.com, but some grocery stores carry them too! I saw kasha bags on a shelf in Whole Foods last month. If you do not have any kasha though, you could use puffed brown rice cereal and the consistency would be a lot like rice krispie treats!
